Hi, I'm remastering the knoppix and I'd like to add a new driver which is
not in the kernel. It is the broadcom 1440 ethernet driver. I've got the driver and
compiled/insmod it in knoppix after a live-cd-boot and it works fine.
Now I'd like to add it to the list of drivers that knoppix tries during the
bootup and do the new remaster with it.
Thanks!
OK, I have solved it compiling the driver and adding in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh this line: 'insmod bcm4400' (this is the driver I compiled)
Well actually I have done lspci | grep Ethernet | grep BROADCOM and
if this returns something then do the insmod.
That works, any better solution??

The Orinoco PCI drivers in 2.4.20-xfs appear not to support Monitor mode.
On a semi-related note, has anyone tried either of the following:
1) Compiling and installing a new kernel - plus modules - into a mounted hard-disk partition while booted from CD? (When you did this you would be CHROOTed to the /source/KNOPPIX subdirectory, of course.)
2) Applied a different (non-2.4.20-xfs) precompiled kernel package to a CHROOTed source/KNOPPIX directory using dselect?
